If Twitter has nothing to hide, then why not give him the complete access he wants? Why should Musk just take Twitter's word?
Musk never intended to buy Twitter. The objective was to expose Twitter as the propaganda machine it is.

And so it’s likely he owns Twitter at the end of this. Gonna be a field day at the courts then!

Actually no, it's more likely he'll look for the cheapest way to chicken out of this, as long as Twitter allows him to

Depending on the development of the stock market former Twitter shareholders might end up owning Tesla and / or SpaceX, at least partially. A field day in deed.

Don't rule out another possibility.
The true magnitude of the bot problem is exposed in court. Twitter is exposed for not only lying to Musk, they're also now in trouble for lying to the SEC (for years) and by that same token, lying to investors and advertisers.
Twitter stock crashes to an unthinkable low, DWAC buys it all up.
Something like "Twitter lied, actually 15% of active users are bots, not < 5%" would never count. But "Twitter lied, 85% of active users are bots, the advertisers found out, they stopped buying ads, and now Twitter has been faking revenue numbers to cover it up" would count.
It's hard to stress enough just how far Musk is from showing a Material Adverse Event, even if his wildest suspicions about the number of bots on Twitter are true (...not that it seems likely they are, mind you).
